What does narrowband mean? I am looking to purchase either a base tranceiver or mobile transceiver(VHF/UHF). I would like the radio to be narrowband capable. Do you have any suggestions? I am an ARES member and would like to use the radio to monitor public safety(that will be narrowbanding per...

I just bought an ICOM IC-211 VHF (2 meter) All-mode base rig on E-Bay. Power turns on, but neither VFO lights. Does anyone have any ideas or can you recommend an ICOM repair shop that is affordable? 73, Gregg, N2UUP

Alrighty, So what I have currently is a Uniden Bearcat BCT15x model scanner mounted in my car. It is powered by a cigarette plug. The antenna is a standard glass mount antenna mounted on the rear cargo window of my 2004 Chevy Suburban. The antenna is slated to do 25-1300 mHz. It picks up...

I need a good code plug for a MTS2000 VHF Model H01KDF9PW1BN System Package H35, Flash Code:000001-000000-9. Read the codeplug changed it and wrote it back then got the dreaded FAIL 01/82 now nothing works. Ideas or suggestions?

I know that Waterloo fire is now paged out on 800 mhz. Are there other changes like this happening soon?? i.e. moving from vhf to 800mhz?

I have two Minitor V VHF 2Ch. Stored Voice pagers. 1. The first is a bit beat up and I wanted to take it apart to clean the contacts. In doing so, I turned what appeared to be a screw on the circuit board that crumbled exposing a red coiled wire. The pager has not received audio since I...

I am looking to buy an HT 1250 VHF Hi Band or I could also trade for a Kenwood 272G. Max price I'd go to buy is around $200. Radio must work. Thanks

Hi! I recently purchased two VHF (136 - 174 MHz) HT1250s on eBay (I know, I know :roll:) that I suspect might both have busted PAs; what luck! Unfortunately, I don't have a power meter or the right equipment for that matter to confirm my suspicion, but a friend and I tested the pair out and...

Hello, I just picked up a Minitor II VHF pager along with the desktop amplified charger. I am in need of the VHF antenna for it. The Motorola part number is: NAD6310A. A quick "google" search does not return any results for this part number. Thanks for any help! -Don KA9RXK

We all know the PSP has by and large migrated to the OpenSky system, with occasional fallback usage on the VHF system. That's no longer in question. However what I find interesting is that the state has very recently modified 75 of the PSP VHF licenses to add 11K0F3E (narrowband) emission...

Howdy Just a reminder for those in the Military, Aircraft and HF Forums that the NORAD - НОРАД Vigilant Eagle II Exercise - 7~10 Aug has begun in the Russian Far East. Please kindly post your Russian and USA-Canada (NATO-USAF-CANFORCE) HF Logs to the Military forum...

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked before. When applying for an FCC license in the VHF 144-174Mhz band, do they charge for only 1 frequency or 1 fee for as many as you would like to use? I am trying to be able to have 3 private channels for use in my home town as well as out in...

The nameplate on the radio our FD uses for paging says its an TK-8180-K. I read the data from the radio and when I started to save it, it asked if I wanted to save a dat file or a sdt file (I chose a dat file). The KPG-92d software showed the paging frequency as 154.980 with no QT(which is the...

Hi All. I'm currently working with my county's OEM on getting some AWIN radios for the different agencies throughout the county. so that in the event of a large scale emergency all the county agencies can communicate with each other. We currently have several VHF repeater systems in place and I...

I Have a repeater i setup and it is on vhf band. i have 2 vhf MT1000 and 2 UHF MT1000's. I Need to program the UHF radios to VHF. I have all programming cables and RSS. How is this done? Any information would be helpful.

I have a two Kenwood NXDN repeaters on the air for a while. 145.2700- and 440.6250+, both using 6.25 kHz NXDN requiring RAN 13. They are in EM00th, near Johnson City, TX. Anyone in the area is welcome to try them. You can usually hit them from the higher locations in Austin. Both are sometimes...

Goodmorning All, I recently purchased a Motorola Spectra 110w vhf high band radio. The unit is designed to be a trunk mount I believe. I was hoping to get any information I could as well as what programming cable was needed, as i know they are different depending on the model or head? of the...

Just got a new Motorolla 1000 VHF radio (hence the name, lol) and am wanting to get it programmed up. It has 16 programmable channels and I'm wanting to get a few frequencies that I don't know. I know all the dispatches and things like that, but if anyone knows Blaney Fire Departments Tone out...

This is my Toyota Tacoma. I bought it new in 2006 when I was 16. Until today it has only 31,000 miles. The radio is a Yeasu FT7800, remotely mounted on my dash. It's screwed directly into my FD blue light. It's in the perfect spot. I can use it while driving, and keep my eyes on the road and...
